They will also share practical strategies to help improve quality of life, discuss swallow therapy techniques, and emphasize the importance of early intervention.

At the conclusion of the webinar, participants will receive valuable resources, including a guide to help facilitate conversations with healthcare providers and helpful tips for adapting meals and recipes just in time for Thanksgiving.

Did you know? 1 in 4 American adults is a family caregiver. Behind that number are countless individuals who give their time, strength, love, and compassion to support someone they care about.

To the caregivers in our SPOHNC community and beyond: Your dedication, sacrifices, and unwavering support make a difference in ways words cannot always express.

🌟 Today and every day, we see you, appreciate you, and thank you!

🦷 October is National Dental Hygiene Month!

💡 Did you know? Regular oral health screenings can play an important role in the early detection of oral cavity and some oropharyngeal cancers.

💉 HPV vaccine = cancer prevention! The HPV vaccine helps prevent infections that can lead to HPV-related oropharyngeal cancers, which affect the back of the throat, including the base of the tongue and tonsils.

✨ This month, we celebrate dental hygienists and their vital role in promoting oral health while raising awareness about the importance of preventive care.

🩺 Early detection matters. Talk with your dental professional about any persistent mouth sores, red or white patches, lumps, difficulty swallowing, or other unusual changes.

❤️ At SPOHNC, we believe awareness, education, and prevention can make a difference.

☝🏼Share this message to help spread awareness and encourage others to prioritize their oral health!
